LKT has a very stringent controlling process to select the beneficiaries so that the benefits can reach the people who really need them. The controlling mechanism is reinforced with an air tight process requiring documentation for key criterion and legal contracts to ensure the donor’s money reaches the actual beneficiaries. Keeping the processes lean and as less bureaucratic as possible is one of the key focus areas to ensure the beneficiaries do not have to toil to receive the benefits, thereby addressing the organization’s main cause also to ease the already demanding situation for the families

That said, the admin cost in online payments which the payment gateways charge will be borne by the donor. You can see this as the slight difference in donation you make and the amount charged on your account. This is also highlighted in the online payment process before the donor executes the transaction.

Additionally, the registration, regulatory and compliance and the fringe administration costs of the foundation are borne by the founders.

Love.Kare.Trust values immensely the trust endowed upon by the donors. The functions of the organization and the spending are fully transparent. The annual reports will be available upon request on the website and queries with respect to spending will be addressed adequately.
